OUR VIEW: Our test is "Will you recommend us to a friend?"

While we are proud of our work, we're always looking to improve
the paper and ensure that we're connecting in useful ways with our
readers. And we especially want the Sunday North County Times to be
a real value to our readers. So we're asking you for some
feedback.

As part of our efforts to improve the Sunday paper, we want to
hear directly from our readers about what's working well, what's
not working as well and what we could do to make the paper more
useful and compelling.

What could we do that would prompt you to recommend us to a
friend?

To gather that feedback, we've built an online survey that you
can find at
www.lee.net/sundayopinion
.
It should take only about eight minutes to complete the survey. We
are hoping you will share your thoughts with us.

Mostly, we're trying to find out what topics are of greatest
interest to our readers, and to measure how we're meeting your
expectations with those topics. Nearly all of the questions are
quick "click through" responses. There is one open-ended question
that asks for your suggestions on possible changes to the Sunday
newspaper.

Thank you in advance for your participation and feedback.

In addition to the online survey, feel free to contact us with
your thoughts and comments about the newspaper. We enjoy talking
with readers.
